Black Boy Run by Common Hymnal Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Run black boy run
Don’t let them catch you
Don't let them stretch the truth about you
You better run black boy
Don’t let them change you
Run to the light and he will save you
Cause every time you stand your ground
Its like the ground that you stand on don’t belong to you
And when they try to buy your soul
Let them know that there's no price, your story must be told
And you’re not letting go
You better run black boy run

[Verse 2]
Run black boy run
Don’t let them play you
Don’t be motivated by the hatred
You better run black boy run
Run to your maker
He will tell you that your skin is sacred
Just keep your eyes upon the son
Cause there’s another boy that’s running trying follow you
And when this ugly race is done
You will find a father’s love you thought you’d never know
And he won’t let you go
You better run black boy run
